War Dance by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
There's an epidemic
Stirring passions in young hearts
Even the old campaigners
Have got it really bad
Well we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day
But when the street parties sound
I'm going underground
To keep the rabid hounds at bay
Oh my my this war dance
A patriotic romance
No we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day
But when the tickatape flies
And blood is on the rise
You know it's got you in its sway
You got yourself a war dance
There's a cheap sensation
Keeping Fleet Street wide awake
Everyone wants a slice of
The jingoistic cake
And they're resurrecting Churchill
And bringing national service back
Fueling power and glory fever
Makes for a sicker Union Jack
Yes I'm talking about this war dance
A patriotic romance
And I know all you poets
Have seen it all before
About the stirring of those young hearts
Back in the first world war
Oh my my this war dance...

War Dance* (original XTC)
There's an epidemic
Stirring passions in young hearts
Even the old campaigners
Have got it really bad
Well we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day
But when the street parties sound
I'm going underground
To keep the rabid hounds at bay
Oh my my this war dance
A patriotic romance
No we ain't seen nothing like it
Since coronation day
But when the tickatape flies
And blood is on the rise
You know it's got you in its sway
You got yourself a war dance
There's a cheap sensation
Keeping Fleet Street wide awake
Everyone wants a slice of
The jingoistic cake
And they're resurrecting Churchill
And bringing national service back
Fueling power and glory fever
Makes for a sicker Union Jack
Yes I'm talking about this war dance
A patriotic romance
And I know all you poets
Have seen it all before
About the stirring of those young hearts
Back in the first world war
Oh my my this war dance...
War Dance (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hay una epidemia
Agitando pasiones en corazones jóvenes
Incluso los viejos veteranos
Lo tienen realmente mal
Bueno, no hemos visto nada igual
Desde el día de la coronación
Pero cuando suenan las fiestas callejeras
Me voy a la clandestinidad
Para mantener a raya a los perros rabiosos
Oh, Dios mío, esta danza de guerra
Un romance patriótico
No, no hemos visto nada igual
Desde el día de la coronación
Pero cuando vuela la cinta
Y la sangre está en aumento
Sabes que te tiene bajo su influencia
Te has metido en una danza de guerra
Hay una sensación barata
Manteniendo a Fleet Street bien despierta
Todos quieren un trozo de
El pastel jingoísta
Y están resucitando a Churchill
Y trayendo de vuelta el servicio nacional
Alimentando la fiebre de poder y gloria
Hace un Union Jack más enfermo
Sí, estoy hablando de esta danza de guerra
Un romance patriótico
Y sé que todos ustedes, poetas
Lo han visto todo antes
Sobre la agitación de esos corazones jóvenes
De vuelta en la primera guerra mundial
Oh, Dios mío, esta danza de guerra...
